Tottenham, flag Son Heung-Min announces immediate farewell: next destination decided

Son Heung-Min has decided to leave Tottenham after 10 years. The South Korean striker, considered by many to be the best Asian footballer ever, officially announced his decision at a press conference in Seoul before a friendly against Newcastle.

“Before starting the press conference, I wanted to announce that I have decided to leave the club this summer. I do so with all respect for a club that is helping me with this decision”.

“For me this is the hardest decision I have ever made during my career. It was really hard, I have so many wonderful memories. Now I need a new environment to test myself, I feel a change is needed. Ten years is a long time, I arrived in London that I was a 23-year-old kid who didn”t speak English and today I leave as a man who is very proud of what he has done”.

Son, who is expected to move to MLS to Los Angeles FC, scored 173 goals in 454 official matches in a Tottenham shirt.
